it's not the "kosher" solution: forcing the main loop to spin it's an hack, and masks the real problem - that is: you are blocking the main loop when you really should not do such thing. also, idle and a timeout sources are not really events, so the functions are even misleading in their names. /me would really like for those two functions to be private to GTK+, but sometimes kludges sift through. ciao, Emmanuele. -- Emmanuele Bassi, E: [EMAIL PROTECTED] W: http://www.emmanuelebassi.net B: http://log.emmanuelebassi.net _______________________________________________ gtk-perl-list mailing list gtk-perl-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-perl-list
